Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. Our MeemawHeadsWest2018 Road Trip has them all. And Union Station in downtown Denver was the perfect place to add that train portion to the equation. Peepaw was the planner for this itinerary, and it’s a pretty complicated one. I was happy to give that job to him since I spent years as a […]
Elvis Fans? Don’t Miss Nick’s Cafe – Lakewood Colorado
Trust me. Elvis is alive and well in Lakewood Colorado. When we were in the Denver area I asked my trusty smartphone GPS (I call her Stella) to guide us to a good breakfast spot nearby. She sent us to Nick’s Cafe. And little did I know we were walking into an Elvis shrine. But […]
Ambrusci’s Fire And Wine Restaurant – Lakewood, Colorado
Ambrusci’s Fire & Wine Restaurant in Lakewood Colorado is fairly new, and it’s only blocks away from Peepaw’s sister’s home. But before we headed out for dinner we were greeted with a beautiful lunch! As you already know…family and food go hand in hand for us. And when we arrived at Patricia and Robert’s home we […]
Only Carry On Luggage…For A Three Week Trip!
A carry on bag and a personal item are the only pieces of luggage I’m planning to take on our three week trip out West. Yes…you read that right. Trust me when I say I usually overpack for our trips. Just look at this photo of the back seat of our car when we head […]
Davies’ Chuck Wagon Diner – Denver, Colorado
If you love old signs, and diners, and little motels from the 1950’s…be sure you take a drive on Colfax Avenue in Denver… It truly is a blast from the past! And Davie’s is a classic diner. From the food… To the decor… Turns out, this […]
The Colorado State Capital Building – Denver, Colorado
Not everyone who tours the Colorado State Capital building is given a PRIVATE tour…but we have “friends in high places”…MILE HIGH places, that is! Hubby’s sister Patricia is an official tour guide at the capital… So she pulled out her official badge to give us inside access, and she gave us […]
The Kitchen Next Door Community Pub – Denver, Colorado
Union Station boasts several choices to dine, and we picked an eclectic pub called The Kitchen Next Door for our lunch. Since the temp outside was about 95 degrees, we opted to eat inside. As we usually do, hubby and I decided to split a sandwich…and Patricia ordered a […]
The Light Rail To Union Station – Downtown Denver, Colorado
Hubby’s Sis Patricia treated us to a day in downtown Denver, and our method of transportation was as smooth as silk. We simply drove to a nearby parking lot where we left her car, and we boarded the Light Rail RTD. Train tickets are purchased from a vending machine next to the […]
Tafolino’s Fine Mexican Cuisine – Golden, Colorado
It always amazes me how close to Denver we get before we can begin to see the faint outline of this majestic Rocky Mountains. But after several more hours we reached our destination…Lakewood. And after unpacking the car, and hugs for Hubby’s sister, we all visited a family owned neighborhood Mexican restaurant for dinner.. […]
Cables Pub & Grill – Fort Morgan, Colorado
Lunchtime found us close to Fort Morgan, Colorado. So off the freeway we flew…and straight to the center of town. And like so many wonderful small towns in America…we found a town square…complete with a gazebo. And right across the street was the spot we picked for lunch… The sign said […]
